This is probably too near-term for what you want, but I think that
what's currently called "user-provided content" or "consumer-created
content" or whatever is going to change the game much more than it
already has. "Games" like Second Life could potentially become far more
popular than World of Warcraft when you consider how inefficient the
whole setup of Second Life currently is for content creation and how
much is created there even with the rough tools currently available; the
scripting language for SL was created in a single day!
